Non chlorinated brake cleaners are the formula that is plastic friendly, at least for the brief time it's in contact.
Chlorinated cleaners apparently have a solvent action on certain plastics that damage them, exactly why the industry had to come up with an alternate - plus whatever EPA directives were involved.
The move by the shooting public to using auto industry cleaners and lubes is based on performance and price. Generally, gun themed cleaners and lubes are much higher, and a long look at the labels and ingredients show a lot of the same things are being used in both. So, you can buy some "gun oil" for $4.99 a 2 ounce bottle, or, an auto lube for $4.99 a quart. Same with cleaners.
Your choice. If it works for you, fine, there's no Consumer Reports much to sort it out. Be advised, tho, that having a weapon absolutely clean in and of itself to guarantee it's function is not a given in some circles. The saga of Filthy#14 comes to mind, over 50k rounds with nothing more than lube and a wipedown. That might shock the precision crowd, but for those who find 2MOA does all they need, it's acceptable.
